According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The Global Dolutegravir Market Size was worth around USD 5.46 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to Grow to around USD 9.44 Billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2025 to 2035. The global dolutegravir market is growing because the drug delivers high success rates as the first-choice treatment for HIV, and its daily dosing schedule produces better patient compliance, and its generic versions become more accessible in developing countries, and worldwide organizations work to enhance access to HIV treatment.

Market Overview

Dolutegravir (DTG) serves as an efficient second-generation HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), which doctors use together with various antiretroviral drugs to treat AIDS. The drug operates as a fundamental medicine for primary HIV treatment together with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) because it stops viral propagation. Market growth is driven by World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for DTG-based regimens (such as TLD), which enable effective HIV-1 treatment with high resistance protection and good safety.

On 27 June 2024, Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Kazakhstan achieved major developments in the implementation of dolutegravir-based HIV treatment following the establishment of the Medicines Patent Pool ViiV Healthcare license. Price reductions that exceeded 90% enabled procurement to cover 78% of patients in Belarus, and 86% of patients in Kazakhstan and 65% of patients in Azerbaijan, while governments, communities and global partners worked together to improve access to antiretroviral therapy. The rapid implementation of pediatric medicine formulas for children, together with increased usage in low and middle-income countries that receive international funding and the creation of two-drug treatment methods, which decrease the number of medicines to take, will create new business possibilities. The main market forces include ViiV Healthcare, Aurobindo Pharma, Mylan N.V., Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Adcock Ingram, which develop low-cost generic medicines for emerging markets in Africa.
